49. The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter and twisted Gothic fairytales to read in one sitting
b'
Today Chelsey and Sara are discussing The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter. This collection of twisted, Gothic fairytales is perfect for fans of Rebecca, Jane Eyre, or Edgar Allan Poe. We\\u2019re keeping this episode spoiler-free, though we do discuss specific aspects of several stories. We loved connecting this collection across literary movements, explaining the heroine\\u2019s journey, and (as always) recommending six contemporary books to pair with our classic, including short story and poetry collections.
